Jasmin Noir L'Elixir (shown) ~ "The limited edition and utterly luxurious perfume is adorned with an atomiser for diffused scenting. An intimate fragrance ritual that laces the skin decadently, and with the refined jeweller's art. The velvety Bvlgari Jasmin Noir L'Elixir seduces with notes of candied orange and pink pepper in the top notes, before a signature heart of sambac jasmine absolute and tuberose plunge the fragrance into darkness. A glittering dry down of balms and golden musk ensure opulence in the base notes."

Mon Jasmin Noir L'Elixir ~ "Bathed in light, Bvlgari Mon Jasmin Noir L'Elixir is made incandescent with immaculate notes of Angel Wing Jasmine, alongside Sambac Jasmine Absolute. This is brightly embellished with touches of bergamot and grapefruit flower in the top notes, and a decadent base of white nougatine, honeyed amber and golden musk."

Bvlgari Jasmin Noir L'Elixir and Mon Jasmin Noir L'Elixir can be found now at Escentual in the UK, in 50 ml Eau de Parfum.

I really do like this line and own a couple of bottles. But these names threaten to outdo even Narciso Rodriguez and his epnonymous line (is For her Musc Intense the one I like so much? or Essence musc intense for her? I’m confused…) Still the Mon Jasmin etc. sounds worth a try to me. I’ll rpobably have to buy if for myself though, if I like it – can’t see trying to explain these names to my family members without hearing them whimper.

I never cared for Jasmin Noir to start with… One Kate Moss was the advert Face for the original launch and Loathe her With an UNHOLY Passion and the Scent was just too… Diffuse… the Jasmin was Never really JASMINE-Y Enough! I did’t mind that it wasn’t very “NOIR” Either (read what i had to say about Coco Noir) so… this doesn’t thrill me in any way… give me the Fabulous ELISIR D’AMORE That is Bvlgari Pour Femme! NOW THAT’S A JASMINE To Go Crazy For!

I’m just disappointed that Mon Jasmin Noir L’Elixir sounds like a flanker of a flanker of a flanker but isn’t, because they wasted Noir on the original. I guess we can still hope for MJNL’E Exquise, though!
